SIBU: State Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh has questioned why the Federal Government needs five years to recognise the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC).

“I don’t know what is the big deal. Why do they need five years to do the study? I am puzzled,” he said when met after opening the three-day Sarawak Invention and Innovation Technology Exhibition 2018 (Saintex’18) and STEM Playground at the University College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS).
